Yar-Bar-O Ranch

The 664-acre wildlife ranch located in Spofford, TX is home to beautiful native trophy whitetail deer, bobcats, hogs, dove, quail, javelina and countless other species. The Imperialist Creek diverges throughout the property which replenishes the sizeable ponds/tanks providing ample water for the various species that call the ranch home. The entire property is both a wildlife enthusiast's dream and a hunter's sanctuary! Founded in 2000 by Linda King and Mike Yarborough, they sought to bring the family closer to nature while passing down the traditions of hunting, cattle raising, and land preservation. What began with a motorhome and a few dreams they built a home with every creature comfort city folk could need while curing the ailments of life that only Mother Nature can. Mike loved horses and horseback riding, so they bought horses and built the barn. Linda had always dreamed of raising Texas Longhorn so they bought 50 head, and their dreams were born! Thanksgivings were spent with the family frying turkeys between the morning and evening hunts, and every night under the star-filled sky was spent by the crackling mesquite wood fire. The labor of love was for everyone who visited, especially their grandchildren who learned to shoot a gun, ride a dirt bike, create a mosaic stepping-stone, and bake a Texas Sheet cake at "the Ranch"! It is the place where time stops, lessons are learned, and stories are shared. As the sun sets on their time in Spofford, they invite you to see the beauty of this wide-open country and hope you see a place to dream and make your own memories. The listing agent is in the family, and we welcome agents to bring their buyers out for a personal showing by appointment. Home Information: The home has a recent metal roof, fresh interior paint, floors, range, refrigerator, AC. and ductwork, so everything is ready for this season! The Ranch has 5 stands and 6 feeders that are all full of corn, battery charged, and actively luring in native species. Lightly hunted and thoughtfully managed for the private use of family only has kept the wildlife plentiful and healthy.
